Promise Lyrics English Translation by Aditya Rikhari
Aditya Rikhari mentions ‘I had a promise to meet them today,’ a line that repeats like a haunting refrain. The vocalist uses imagery of faded pictures and cups of wine to show how love lingers even when it’s gone. The tune’s repetitive structure mirrors the cycle of yearning and despair.
Ishq Bhi Yaar Bala Hai Humne Karke Dekha HaiLove is truly a calamity, my friend; I’ve experienced it myself.
Jiske Sadqe Jeete The Uspe Marke Dekha HaiI’ve tried dying for the one I used to live for.
Deedar Se Jinke Yeh Aankhein Roshan Hoti ThiThe one whose sight used to brighten these eyes,
Unki Tasveeron Ko Yoon Aankhein Bharke Dekha HaiI’ve gazed at their pictures with eyes full of longing.
Umr Bhar Ka Iraada ThaMy intention was to stay for a lifetime.
Mera Ishq Haisiyat Se Bhi Zyada ThaMy love was far greater than my humble status.
Jinka Aana Lakeeron Mein Hi Na HaiThe one whose arrival isn’t written in my fate’s lines,
Unse Aaj Milne Ka Vaada ThaI had a promise to meet them today.
Unse Aaj Milne Ka Vaada ThaI had a promise to meet them today.
Mera Ishq Haisiyat Se Bhi Zyada ThaMy love was far greater than my humble status.
Unse Aaj Milne Ka Vaada ThaI had a promise to meet them today.
Deedar De O Yaara Deedar De O YaaraShow yourself, O beloved, show yourself, O beloved.
Phoonk De Jaan Iss Dil Mein Ya Maar De O YaaraBreathe life into this heart or just kill it, O beloved.
Hum To Fanaa Hokar Bhi Bekaar The O YaaraI was worthless to you even after I was destroyed, O beloved.
Phoonk De Jaan Iss Dil Mein Ya Maar De O YaaraBreathe life into this heart or just kill it, O beloved.
Ishq Khayalon Mein Bunta MileMay love be found weaving through thoughts.
Yeh Dil Piyaalon Mein Gum Sa Mile HeyMay this heart be found lost in cups of wine.
Ishq Khayalon Mein Bunta MileMay love be found weaving through thoughts.
Yeh Dil Piyaalon Mein Gum Sa MileMay this heart be found lost in cups of wine.
Yeh Toh Humari Thi Taqdeer ParThis was just my destiny, however,
Unko Na Koi Bhi Unsa MileMay they never find anyone like themselves.
Woh Jo Aadat Puraani Thi Iss Dil KiThat old habit of this heart,
Kar Gayi Jo Zakham Thoda Zyada ThaLeft a wound that was a little too deep.
Jinka Aana Lakeeron Mein Hi Na HaiThe one whose arrival isn’t written in my fate’s lines,
Unse Aaj Milne Ka Vaada ThaI had a promise to meet them today.
Unse Aaj Milne Ka Vaada ThaI had a promise to meet them today.
Mera Ishq Haisiyat Se Bhi Zyada ThaMy love was far greater than my humble status.
Unse Aaj Milne Ka Vaada ThaI had a promise to meet them today.
Deedar De O Yaara Deedar De O YaaraShow yourself, O beloved, show yourself, O beloved.
Phoonk De Jaan Iss Dil Mein Ya Maar De O YaaraBreathe life into this heart or just kill it, O beloved.
Hum To Fanaa Hokar Bhi Bekaar The O YaaraI was worthless to you even after I was destroyed, O beloved.
Phoonk De Jaan Iss Dil Mein Ya Maar De O YaaraBreathe life into this heart or just kill it, O beloved.
